A Polish citizen living in Ruidoso on an expired visa was charged with sexual exploitation of children, a third-degree felony Tuesday, as a result of a multi-week investigation, a Ruidoso Police Department official reported Friday.

Members of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which consists of detectives from the Ruidoso department and special agents from the New Mexico Attorney General's Office, arrested Andrzez Cebo, 54, and transported him to the Lincoln County Detention Center, where he was being held on a $10,000 bond and a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer, Detective Sgt. Ray Merritt said. His visa expired in 2006.

Cebo's arrest was the culmination of an investigation into Internet downloads to his computers of children under the age of 18 years engaging in sexual activities, Merritt said.

The case was brought as part of the New Mexico ICAC Task Force's mission to locate, track and capture Internet children sexual predators and Internet child pornographers in New Mexico. Seventy-one federal, state. military and local law enforcement agencies are associated with the task force, which is funded by a grant administered by the attorney general's office.

Anyone with information relating to suspected child predators and suspected child abuse is encouraged to contact federal or local law enforcement.
